The first time I tried steering-assist on a car felt like a significant transition.

Even though it was a simple "stay in lane"feature, feeling the car moving the wheel took a bit of getting used to.

I know that there are lots of other replies about the Internet and phones, but I’ve always liked maps so as a specific example that’s an area that has transformed astoundingly. I have a map in my pocket that can show me anywhere in the world, give me directions, monitor traffic levels, show aerial photographs and street-level photographs of many areas of the world. I can fly around a 3D view of a city’s buildings, and even see where my family members are.

Oh, and you can buy vacuum cleaners that don’t need bags, now.

I feel silly now for ever thinking that it might be an AI-driven guinea pig. No machine would have said that.

Is the inspiration behind it, I think.

Er… I stand by what I said…

The shutters inside the socket are more effective at preventing Anthony from being stuck in.

I like that I can interface with it in ways that I already understand (eg rclone, sync, sshfs).

Being able to run some commands on the server meant that I could use rclone to copy my AWS and OneDrive backups directly cloud-to-cloud.

This scheme does not need a list, and if necessary could be simplified enough, some common part with first three letters of the site:

• For Instagram: my-memorable-password-Ins
• For Facebook: my-memorable-password-Fac

The memorable part could be the initials of a favorite song lyric, or something: nggyunglydIns, nggyunglydFac etc.

But the suggestion of using the Chrome password manager sounds like it will be seamless. I don’t know if it would work on IOS, but on Android it fills passwords in for many apps, not just web pages.

Before even getting to documentation, I see so many projects that don’t have a short summary of what they do (and maybe what to not expect them to do).

As an example, Home Assistant. I can tell that it involves home automation, so can I replace Google Home with it? It seems like it doesn’t do voice recognition without add-ons and it can work with Google Assistant. Do I still need accounts with the providers of smart appliances, or can it control my bulbs directly?

None of that is very clear from the website.

I’ve seen plenty of other projects where it’s assumed there’s no need to explain it’s overall purpose.

One day, they may do something for you in return.

Can “y’all” be singular, since there is “all y’all” for plural?

And for the 90s: Information Superhighway.

No it’s not. It’s more of a spongy consistency compared to a the dry, breadiness of an English muffin.

“we do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”

But really I was just pretending to misunderstand the early test flights as a progression of sending larger life-forms, and that we should continue sending larger and larger animals.

Maybe there’s a secret program that They don’t want us to know about.

First we sent small animals into space: a dog, then monkeys.

After that: people.

And then we stopped. I expected that we would have sent cows, horses, maybe even hippos or elephants by now.

What about drive-thru liquor stores!
